obviously understanding is lacking when someone doesn't realize that exporting one's natural resources
empowers other nations........ exporting manufactured products strengthens a nation lowers prices within the country and strengthens our currency
it's as SIMPLE as that......
during Afghanistan- 1/2 our our oil went to the military 1/4 was exported and 1/4 was for domestic use and this was posted with links more than once... the exported portion mostly went to China... *DOH*
we don't need to export, we need to manufacture HERE and get the resources other countries have to offer and get them cheap the jobs will still be there but will benefit THIS country as opposed to benefiting our enemies and competition
That's how China got so powerful.......... That's how Japan became an economic powerhouse.... and why I still won't drive a damn Toyota...the money still benefits Japan more than it benefits US.
just simple facts.........
it's like land.....there's only so much of it..... resources have limits
